The highest elevation in the entire Caribbean. It doesn't compare to some of the other places but man was it a tough hike. One of the guides told us that people use that mountain to train because it's very inclined almost the entire way.

Thanks for posting this story. It was a fun read.
I haven't climbed it, the furthest I got up the Antilles was Martinique.
